From the center of the Magic Beast forest, we move towards the fort.
When I go with Garez-san and the others and point my knife at the magic beasts that appear, the magic beasts change one after another. . .

“Wagyu”

Japanese beef. This black hair and little horns. Round black eyes are definitely that of Japanese beef.

“Ezojika”

Ezo deer. A body larger than the deer in Honshu. This is another ezo deer.

“Magamo”

Mallard duck. I don’t think it’s a duck. I don’t know anymore, but it’s a mallard duck.

“When I’m with Isarai-sama, you can make enough meat that it makes me laugh!”

“. . . Can I have you catch them later?”

“Of course! I want to eat delicious meat!”

“That’s right!”

Please casually ask everyone who is excited.
For the time being, moving to the forest near the fort is the first priority, so I leave those that have been returned to animals.
And when I approach the fort, the members were gathered there.
Join up with Ryleigh-kun, and everyone subjugates the monsters!

“Make sure that each team can take turns taking a break. Those who are injured or who have been hit with weapons should retreat to the fort immediately.”

“Yes!”

“Ryleigh will take care of the enemies in the air, so you only need to worry about the ground and the forest of magic beasts.”

“Yes!”

“Ryleigh, you can do it.”

“Yes!”

Under Hurst-san’s instructions, each of them performs their roles properly.
Everyone who powered up with the power of food is strong.
This is a big advantage because you can rest, refuel, and focus only on what’s in front of you.
However, before I knew it, the area was getting dark. . .

“. . . It’s easy to lose concentration from evening to night. Are you okay?”

“Tsu! For the time being, four teams four teams fought, and the first team was arranged to rest, but as expected, I’m tired.”

“Mental fatigue.”

“It would be nice if we could at lease have a few more people so we could take a long break. . .”

Garez-san replied to Hurst-san’s words.
While avoiding the magic beast’s attacks, Garez-san spilled out the words, ‘It’s a bit harsh.’

“And. . . Isarai-sama, are you okay?”

“Heh, ah, yes.”

The topic suddenly shifts to me, who is looking around with a kitchen knife in hand.
Although I managed to stand up, I was a little late in reacting because I was about to sit down.

“Shina-sama. As expected, take a break.”

I’ve been asked many times to take a break, but I’ve declined.
Because if I’m gone, I won’t be able to summon the magic beasts.
However, I also feel the limit of my physical strength. . .

“I’m not moving around like everyone else, but I’m tired. . .”

“This is the front line, so you have always been careful.”

“Even if she eats it, she won’t get stronger, and she won’t get better either. She is in the most difficult situation. . . . .Ryleigh!”

After Hurst-san cut off the head of the magic beast in front of him, he approaches me calls Ryleigh-kun in the sky.
Ryleigh-kun immediately came down to me.

“Give Shina-sama a break.”

Hurst-san said so and removed the cloak from his shoulder.
And then, when it wrapped me up, it wrapped around Ryleigh-kun as well.

“But if I’m gone. . .”

“The magic beasts that Shina-sama summoned are probably heading this way. If you don’t think about meat dishes during your break, the magic beasts will head for this spot.”

“. . . Yes.”

“I don’t know how long Shina-sama’s power will be effective. So, after Shina-sama leaves, we will gradually head towards the center and return to the initial formation.”

So don’t worry, Hurst-san nodded.
However, that means Hurst-san will be a decoy. . .

“Garez! Can the whole team go?”

“Ugh! It’s the end of our break, so we’re really energetic!”

“Oh!”

The members of the first group, who had just returned from their break, answered without complaining about going to the center.
He certainly looks fine.
But. . .

“It’s not just me. . . Hurst-san hasn’t taken a break either.”

Yes. Hurst-san also keeps fighting all the time.
It was the same with Ryleigh-kun, but I think he can take a break if he goes with me like this.
That’s why I’m worried. . .

“I’m fine.”

Hurst-san gently puts his hand on my cheek.

“. . . If I eat your cooking, I’m invincible.”

Light blue eyes that narrow softly.
I feel like I’ll be sucked into those eyes. . .

“Hur-”

Outstretched hands and muttered words.
And drowning it out. . .

“Hahahahaha!! Are you okay, Isarai Shina!”

Laughter.

“. . . ! This voice is-”

“You can rest assured now that I’m here!!”

When I look up in the direction I heard it from, I see someone descending from the sky with their proud golden brown hair flowing.
In the background are the Kei Bihei brothers who are crying with tears on their faces.

“Isn’t the place to get off a bit too high!?”

“Can you land on this!?”

“It was my first time jumping off a dragon. . . !!”

Everyone who came down in no time managed to land while saying ‘Zushah.’
Ah, two of the ones who are descending are in pain. . .

“. . . I kept you waiting!”

He puffs out his chest.
With his arms crossed, that pompous attitude.
. . . . . does not change. No change at all.

“Ash-san!”

When I called his name, Ash-san turned and looked at me.

“Hmph! I heard you called me no matter what! Well, if that’s the case, I’ll go and do it!”

“Yes, thank you.”

The nostalgic loud laughter and the word ‘Hmph’ made me smile unintentionally.
I don’t really understand my situation of being wrapped in a cloak with Ryleigh-kun.
Seeing me like that, Ash-san didn’t smile, and looked straight at me with golden brown eyes.

“. . . I heard that you can summon magic beasts. If you look like that, you must have been here all along.”

Then, he nodded forcefully, ‘It’s okay.’

“I will take your place.”

“Ash-san?”

“Yeah. My skill is – ‘Resonance’.”

“Resonance”

Eh. The one that vibrates sound waves?
The one that breaks a wine glass if you do it right?

“Until I met you, I was only a little good at singing, and my skills were nothing like that. But if someone eats your cooking, their skill will improve, won’t it? I found out in the battle against the magic beasts at the royal palace last time. . .”

Ash-san puffs out his chest.

“. . . I’ve become better at singing.”

“Singing”

“I can imitate the sound of a magic beast.”

“Imitation”

It wasn’t just laughing HA. . .
I can’t believe he can imitate sounds. . .

“Take a break! I can’t do it all the time, but I can attract magic beasts while you take a break!”

“. . . . Yes!”

‘So go quickly’, Ash-san said and turned his back.
Hurst-san also saw Ash-san like that and left me.
And side by side. . .

“Come on, sing.”

“Don’t point the wooden stick at me! I’ll do it without you telling me!”

Then, a strange sound came out from Ash-san.
It’s not a sound that a human can make. Treble mixed with low bass.
Maybe there’s a certain frequency, and it’s only when you put it out in that way that a sound like this comes out.
I was told that it was magic beast mimicry, and I thought, eh, but it’s true that this might be difficult if it’s not a skill.

“Hey! Defeat it quickly! This makes it easier to be targeted!”

“I see.”

Ash-san runs away with a dash, and the magic beast chases after him.
Hurst-san nodded to that and threw the log with all his might.

“Heeeeeeyyyy!!!! It’ll hit! It’ll hit me!”

“Please avoid it. Then, go straight to the center.”

“Damn! Damn it! Northern dogs are not disciplined at all!!”

Ash-san and Hurst-san running.
Garez-san and the Kei Bihei Brothers seem to have confirmed their future movements, and the first group led by Garez-san and the five members of the Kei Bihei Brothers will follow Hurst-san and the others.
The rest seem to be going to the fort.

“Then, Shina-san! Let’s fly!”

“Yes!”

After that, Ryleigh-kun took me and took a break for about 30 minutes.
I could have taken a longer break, but i was in a hurry and couldn’t take it easy.
So I went back to the front lines and fought alongside everyone else.

Ash-san and the others came, and it probably took about two hours.
The area has become completely dark, Hurst-san has cut down trees, and the improvised torch that Ryleigh-kun lit is burning.

There was Ash-san running around, and Hurst-san who was throwing a log accurately.
Garez-san and the others dodged firmly while slashing at the magic beasts all at once, while everyone in the Kei Biehei Brothers dodged their attacks while cheering for Ash-san.
Ryleigh-kun flies in the sky and shoots fire, and Gyabussh and Zezgard-san watch out for magic beasts coming out from the edge of the barrier, and sometimes attack them from afar.

. . . My body is exhausted.

But I can do my best because everyone is here.
Even though it’s a battle with magic beasts, I sometimes laugh.

“I’m going to make dinner.”

So take another step.

“Shina-sama. . . . .Is it dangerous to use skills in such a state?”

“Shina-san, using skills is tiring. I think you can sleep well for now and do it tomorrow morning.”

“That’s right, Isarai Shina!”

When I told them that I was going to cook food in the kitchen, everyone’s faces clouded over at the same time. I haven’t thought about it deeply until now, but even skills aren’t used without any compensation.
Perhaps, it might be dangerous to use [Summon Kitchen] while exhausted.
But soon, the power of the scones distributed to everyone will run out.
That’s why, after all, I shouldn’t do this.

“Please let me do my best.”

. . . .but I won’t stop.

It want to do what I can do.
So, with all my heart.

“Summon Kitch-”

I thought, let’s sing it.
But the sords stop halfway through.
What came out instead was a sigh of admiration.

“. . . . Beautiful.”

. . . . .Glittering light blue light.

More and more light springs up from the ground and gathers.
The shills that had been there for a long time soon disappeared.

. . . .It was more beautiful than anything I had ever seen.

 

It looks like Shizuku was able to create the barrier after all! Congratulations Shizuku!
